NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), in collaboration with citizen scientists, has identified a new gas giant exoplanet. This exoplanet is notable for its relatively low temperature compared to other known gas giants. The discovery highlights the power of combining advanced space technology with the efforts of dedicated volunteers in the search for worlds beyond our solar system. Further details about the exoplanet's size, orbit, and atmospheric composition are expected to be released following further analysis.
